She noted that the farming community in C1arington is considered to be one of the most diverse farming communities left in Ontario and this should be protected. She concluded by stating that: "you and I have a shared responsibility to future generations. Yours is to protect land use, mine is to use the land wisely." . libby and Stan Racansky, 3200 Hancock Road, Courtice, LlE 2M1 - circulated a copy of their presentation dated February 2, 1998, wherein they expressed concern regarding commercial establishments being located in non commercial areas.

He advised that this enterprise should be located in an industrial site because sewage of the type created by this business should be filtered and will pose an unnecessary eco threat to Wilmot Creek.

Bev Wakefield, 50 Davids Crescent, Orono, LOB 1MO - advised that, although she is not opposed to the Lishmans relocating their business to Clarington, it should not be on environmentally protected and agriculturally zoned lands.

Dan and Rhonda Hooper, 3237 Concession Road 7, Orono, LOB 1MO - circulated a copy of their presentation and expressed opposition on the grounds that the property is presently zoned Agricultural and Environmental Protection and approval of this appl ication would create a negative precedent. The Hoopers moved to the country to enjoy the quiet rural lifestyle and this is another reason why they oppose this application. Evylin Stroud, 89 little Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 1J9 - spoke in opposition to this application and questioned why the applicant should be allowed to change the recently approved Official Plan. She does not like the message that approval of this application would convey to other developers because the municipality has much more serviced commercial land to offer. . Bill Woods, R.R. #2, Orono, LOB 1MO - circulated a copy of his presentation wherein he expressed opposition for the proposal for the following reasons: . in his view, it is a Itcallus assault on our natural environment"; . Wilmot Creek and its small tributary which feeds the on site pond are not properly positioned on the map; . Wilmot Creek is a "jewel that should not be tarnished" - the countless cold water springs which lead into the creek will be contaminated by nitrates, chloride and various chemicals and dyes?; . wildlife, vegetation and fish habitat will be negatively affected; . an Environmental Impact Study should be conducted; and . water consumption and septic systems will negatively affect the environment. He suggested that Mr. Lishman locate his business in an industrial area and requested that members of the Committee deny this application. . linda Gasser, 7421 Best Road, Orono, LOB 1MO - circulated a copy of her presentation wherein she expressed opposition to the proposal because the lands are located within 50 metres of the edge of a table land wood lot and of the top of bank of the valley of a cold water or warm water stream. She cited Section 4.3.8 of the Clarington Official Plan which states that ..."an environmental impact study shall be undertaken for development applications located within or adjacent to any natural feature...".

Fran Woods, 3296 Taunton Road North, Orono, lOB 1MO - expressed concerns pertaining to airplanes flying above her property. Kevin McCarthy, 79 Edgerton Street, Bowmanville, II C 4T8 - expressed opposition for the proposal because animals are killed for fur and he would like to see wildlife being preserved.

Minutes - 7- February 2, 1998 . PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D Wolfgang Arnold, Trillium lake Farm, 4798 Concession Road 4, R.R. #1, Newtonville, LOA 1JO - circulated a copy of his presentation wherein he expressed support for the application stating that the use of pesticides, fertilizers and the spreading of liquid manure by farmers creates enormous pollution with its runoff in rivers and streams. He noted that, in Europe, suitable industries are settled all over the country side to avoid unnecessary traffic by the workers and to give the cash strapped farmers the chance to work there full time or part time or take work home. He stated that "if a suitable factory is located on a farm it will use up only a small parcel of land while the rest could be left more natural than most farm operations with fences and agricultural machinery...". Murray Taylor, 337 Main Street, Orono, LOB 1MO, owner of Rolph Hardware Store - expressed support for Mr. Lishman's application on the basis that Orono has experienced a loss of businesses and related jobs in the past and the area needs the establishment of this new business. He requested members of the Committee to rely on factual information rather than opinions during their consideration of this appl ication. . Christine Ryan, 15 Sylvia Court, Newcastle, llB 1J4 - circulated a copy of her presentation dated February 2, 1998, wherein she expressed support for the proposal because she has full confidence that the applicant's consultant has complied with all necessary studies, applications, guidelines and safeguards. She stated that the establishment of this business will be an economic stimulus of construction jobs and on going jobs at no cost to the municipality and at no risk to the residents in the adjacent areas. Kelly Adams, 3351 Concession Road, Orono, LOB 1 MO - expressed support for the application on the basis that the property in question is a "piece of junk" land. Although he is very concerned about Wilmot Creek and the environment, he is satisfied that the Lishmans will develop this site in an environmentally friendly manner. Wesley Hill, R.R. #1, Enniskillen, lOR 1JO - circulated a copy of his presentation wherein he expressed support for the proposal for the following reasons: . it is a clean industry without pollutants; . the building would blend in with surrounding areas; · the land in question was a former gravel pit and has a very thin layer of top soil which could not sustain agriculture profitably; . the municipality desperately needs to locate new industry to our area; and . the Lishmans' products are sold world wide and this would be a show case for Clarington. . Rita Trolley, 3244 Concession 7, Orono, lOB 1MO - is a resident of the area and an employee of the Lishman's. She advised that she would never support any industry which would be detrimental to the environment and the municipality.

Kevin Tunney appeared along with Steve Usher, Gartiner lee, Bill lishman and Donna Ward, employee of the lishman's - advised that the agricultural study which covered the subject property and beyond indicated that this property has very little capability for agriculture.

Minutes - 8 - February 2, 1998 PUBLIC MEETING CONT'D Steve Usher, Gartiner Lee, addressed the environmental aspects of the proposal and stated that the environmental study is a scientific document which confirms that these lands can accommodate this proposal environmentally. He addressed the concerns expressed pertaining to: . the septic system - the Durham Health Department adheres to the standards of the Province of Ontario and water levels will be measured in the spri ng; . wash water - these are regular washing machines and have one cycle only; . the dye for the furs - the amount used will not negatively impact the surface waters; . landfill gas - no gas appears on the monitors; . the fill contained in the land fill - there has been no waste found in the land fi II; and . incorrect mapping - Ontario Based mapping has been used and it is correct. He stated that Mr. Lishman's development of the site will lead to the rehabilitation of a gravel pit. Mr. Lishman advised that he is willing to upgrade Taunton Road if this is required by the Region of Durham and that he is willing to sign an agreement stating that he will restore the water supplies if these are contaminated due to the operation of his business. Mr. Lishman confirmed that he will not manufacture ultralight aircraft on this site and that he is not looking at any other location in the Municipality of Clarington to relocate his business.
